Putting together a wish list for my relatives to do some shopping. Wondering what you guys like to use on ultra light setups. Braid, mono, flouro? Brands?

Suffix - Bright Orange. Although I saw some new neon green the other day in the store. It would work too. I use 20# on my verticles and 10# on my pitchin' rod.

Hi-vis doesn't effect the fish...imo...I've fished it for a couple of years but I talked to a guy at Cabela's tonight that said 12# braid is the way to go b/c it's the same diameter as 6#mono with twice the strength for all those times when you get hung up. I might give this a shot once I run out of the hi-vis.

Does the hi vis line effect your bites? Pros cons? I think it's just an excuse for some to say the fish were "LIne Shy". If you can catch them on a brazing rod they sure aren't going to be scared of a little braid.

Does the hi vis line effect your bites? Pros cons? It effects whether or not you SEE some bites. I've fished Cajun Red, Vicious Yellow and am now using Suffix Siege in Neon Tangerine and the crappie don't seem frightened, maybe a little angry  but not frightened.
